Some good commentary too, stop by.

As Sergeant Womack noted, the enemy has already managed to "get into our camp." Do Americans have the will to stop him before he strikes again?

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

I hate it when they change the titles.

Take a look at some of the threads on the subject of our islamic fifth column on this conservative website, then ask yourself that question. Prospects don't look good.

Regarding the article, I hadn't heard how the POS actually conducted his attack. May he fry, and quickly.

Unfortunately, we have many in high places that are unable to grasp reality.

[Calpernia]

What website?

[Ebony-Patriot]

Considering I have many friends there and one of them is in that unit, I'm highly ticked off!

May he die a trator's death....

[Black Agnes]

Supposedly the guy that died was shot in the *back* by this nice person. Hope all your colleagues are OK. (welcome to freep BTW).

There is no color, race, or religion in an infantry unit only brothers, if you can't depend on the person next to you, you are dead.

Daniel Pipes was badly treated in an appalling display when he came to a Canadian university to lecture about a month ago. There had to be protection from security and the authorities shifted the location to a cramped environment. The "usual suspects" came out to threaten Pipes.

To the chagrin of people like myself and indeed the National Post,(A Newspaper slightly to the right). Thought police showed up at the University. They made a big show of being there to prevent inflamatory statements- if made by Daniel Pipes.

Daniel Pipes has been right all along. His theme is "the enemy within".

I have had no love for Israel for good reasons for many years- re Begin and the terrorist attacks against British troops- the people who helped liberate Jews from Hitler.

If Israel falls, we will fall. If the Coalition fails, God help us all.

"And Akbar in 2003? U.S. Army spokespersons talk variously about an "attitude problem," a desire for "retribution" and "resentment."

We don't say anything against Islam in America - because this is politically correct. There is also this great fear of inciting Black Americans. Much of this started in the late 1960's when in fact some of our cities were being burned down in race-riots.

So now we come to the Muslim and color issue together in Sgt. Akbar.

[Howlin]

I believe this guy is a convert; his parents aren't Muslims. He changed his name. He sounds like one of Louis' boys.

"...... if you can't depend on the person next to you, you are dead."

But not if he's dead first.....

[Black Agnes]

He converted when his mom and step dad did when he was 6.

[Howlin]

And they didn't change their names? I understood he converted lately. At least that's what the first reports said.

[tracer]

This issue was quietly festering long before Akbar. Perhaps now it will be addressed, starting with the US "correctional" system.....

[Black Agnes]

His moms name is Quran Bilal. Sounds pretty Muslim to me. There have been several stories on the family. Supposedly when his mom married his step dad they either converted or she converted when she married him. Asan was around 6 according to the story.

[Howlin]

If he felt that way about the military, why did he stay?

[Black Agnes]

Lots of us want to know the same thing...
